Bitcoin slips toward $85K as trendline rejection meets persistent exchange outflows

Bitcoin continues to decline, approaching $85K after facing repeated rejections at a multi-month descending trendline. Despite weak price momentum and bearish technical signals, on-chain data reveals persistent BTC outflows from exchanges like Binance, even as prices drop. These outflows, often ranging between -2,000 to -4,000 BTC, suggest accumulation by long-term holders and reduced immediate selling pressure. While the short-term trend remains bearish below $90K, sustained withdrawals indicate underlying confidence and potential supply tightening, which could support a future rebound once market sentiment stabilizes.

Solana Price Could Crash Below $5 – The Document That Has Taken The Community By Storm

A crypto analyst known as 'NoLimit' has issued a severe warning that Solana (SOL) could crash below $5, a 95.9% decline from its current $122 price. This prediction is based on an analysis of a US federal court case allowing a class action lawsuit to proceed against Solana Labs, Pump.fun, and other ecosystem players. The lawsuit alleges that Solana's infrastructure gives insiders an unfair advantage in meme coin launches, enabling them to buy tokens faster and cheaper, leading to market manipulation and significant losses for retail investors. The analyst warns that if the court finds these activities constitute unregistered securities or unfair practices, it could shatter institutional trust. With nearly half of SOL's supply held by insiders and VCs, a loss of confidence could trigger a mass sell-off, potentially leading to the collapse of the cryptocurrency, similar to past failures like FTX and Luna.

Crypto CLARITY Act set for Senate markup in January, says Sacks

The long-awaited Crypto CLARITY Act is set for a Senate markup in January, according to White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks. Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott and Agriculture Committee Chair John Boozman confirmed the bipartisan bill will advance next month. The legislation aims to define crypto securities and commodities, clarify regulatory roles between the SEC and CFTC, and reduce uncertainty for crypto firms. Supporters say it will establish clearer compliance pathways, encourage innovation, and strengthen investor protections. Work on the bill continued during the recent government shutdown, with regulators meeting executives from major crypto companies and venture firms.

Hyperliquid with Trillions in Trading Volume: How to Break the Thin Profit Curse

Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange, processes massive trading volumes (annualized $617B in perps) but captures minimal fees—only ~3.9 bps—compared to retail-centric platforms like Coinbase (35.5 bps) and Robinhood (33.5 bps). This reflects a structural divide: Hyperliquid operates at the "market layer" (like Nasdaq), offering low-margin execution, while brokers profit from higher-margin services like custody, lending, and subscriptions. Hyperliquid’s open architecture—via Builder Codes (third-party frontends) and HIP-3 (external product deployment)—fuels growth but risks commoditizing its core exchange, as third parties capture user relationships and routing leverage. Recent strategic shifts aim to defend its position: halting subsidies for external frontends, launching USDH (a native stablecoin) to capture reserve yields, and introducing portfolio margin to earn interest on lending. The protocol is evolving toward a hybrid model—balancing open infrastructure with broker-like revenue streams (e.g., balance-based earnings)—to avoid being trapped in low-margin wholesale execution. The key challenge for 2026 is achieving this shift without undermining its ecosystem-friendly approach.

Ethereum sinks as major groups sell $51mln – Yet ONE signal hints at relief

Ethereum remains under heavy selling pressure, with its price dropping to around $2,856 amid a broader market downturn. Both whales and institutional investors are contributing to the decline. A major whale deposited over 17,800 ETH (worth approximately $51.4 million) into Binance, realizing significant profits. Meanwhile, Ethereum Spot ETFs experienced five consecutive days of outflows, totaling around $533 million, indicating institutional bearishness. Despite the downtrend, a sharp shift to negative exchange netflows suggests reduced selling pressure and potential emerging demand. ETH is currently testing a key support level near $2,807. If this level holds, a rebound toward $2,929 or even $3,200 is possible. A breakdown, however, could lead to further declines toward $2,633.

Coinbase appoints ex-UK finance minister George Osborne to chair advisory council

Coinbase, the largest US-based cryptocurrency exchange, has appointed former UK finance minister George Osborne as the chair of its advisory council. Osborne, who has been an advisor since 2024, views this as an opportunity to learn more about the blockchain revolution and its potential for broadening financial inclusion. His appointment is part of Coinbase's strategy to expand its global influence with foreign governments. Osborne has previously criticized the UK for lagging in crypto regulation and stablecoin development, warning that the British pound risks irrelevance against dominant US dollar-backed stablecoins. This move coincides with Coinbase's broader expansion, including recent acquisitions and new product offerings like tokenized stock trading, prediction markets, and planned perpetual futures contracts, as it aims to become a comprehensive financial services "everything app."

Brazilian stock exchange to launch tokenization platform and stablecoin

Brazil's primary stock exchange, B3, announced plans to launch a tokenization platform for traditional assets and its own stablecoin for settlements, starting in 2026. The initiative aims to create a seamless transition between traditional and digital markets by ensuring asset fungibility and shared liquidity. This move follows recent regulatory changes by Brazil’s central bank, which classifies stablecoin transactions as foreign-exchange operations. Additionally, B3 plans to introduce weekly options for Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana, as well as event contracts. The exchange has previously offered cryptocurrency exposure through ETFs earlier than the US market.

Global debt markets show dollar dominance moves in cycles, US Fed says

A new Federal Reserve discussion paper reveals that the U.S. dollar’s dominance in global debt markets has moved in cycles over the past 60 years, with no clear long-term trend toward either dollarization or de-dollarization. The study identifies three distinct "dollarization waves" since the 1960s, showing currency usage shifts are cyclical rather than structural. As of 2024, emerging markets still rely heavily on dollar-denominated debt, which makes up about 80% of their international bonds. Meanwhile, the rise of dollar-pegged stablecoins like USDT and USDC—which together represent 85% of the $309.6 billion stablecoin market—has reinforced dollar dominance. These stablecoins are backed significantly by U.S. Treasury holdings, making their issuers major holders of U.S. government debt. The report concludes that despite vulnerabilities, the dollar’s global role remains unchallenged due to a lack of alternatives. Efforts to internationalize other currencies, including the Chinese renminbi, have seen limited success. European policymakers have expressed concern over the growing influence of dollar-backed stablecoins.

SOL price action lags the wider altcoin market: Is Solana’s heyday over?

SOL has underperformed the broader altcoin market, declining 32% since November compared to a 21% drop in the altcoin market. Despite significant ETF inflows totaling $636 million and corporate adoption adding over 20 million SOL to balance sheets, the token's price has struggled. A key factor is declining onchain activity: Solana’s weekly network fees fell to $4.5 million from $7 million, and DApp revenues dropped 30% to $26 million weekly. Meanwhile, competing blockchains like Base, Arbitrum, and Polygon saw substantial growth in transactions and activity. With 68% of SOL staked, reducing sell pressure, the primary concern remains weak network demand. Without a reversal in onchain activity, SOL’s underperformance is likely to persist.
